Stoner=crasher. Hope he proves me wrong. Rossi=amazing. He's already proven me right. Hey, it's the only thing I have ever been right about. [moto]

It all seems to be about the skill and maturity to keep more room to the edge limit.  Stoner keeps it a little outside that edge lately.  It is not all about who is fastest when you have a finish line.

It seems the equipment is now at the tech edge of the tires - there is not much point in making a motorcycle that is so powerful it can flick & go, but it can't stick.

Are some people into motoGP & SBK for the crashes?  Could Stoner be like a new thrash motorcycle hero as a result?   Rossi - White Hat ?;  Stoner - Black hat?  I'm thinking that if this is Casey's style it is gonna cost Ducati a lot of money!  The Dr. is a cheap date ( except for salary if he wins ) ! 

These guys are at the limit of traction and stability the vast majority of the time.  All the electronics in the world can't correct every error. 

I think it's simple, Stoner's got Rossi in his head.  After Laguna when he couldn't leave Rossi in the dust, he's realizing that he can't beat him over the long run.  The Doctor is just too good in the 1v1 battles.  Stoner's pushing so hard to get a gap that he's tossed the bike down the track.

Or it could have been b/c he was having front end issues w/ the heat of the tire...that's what he said in the post race interview

I just hope to see more battles between Rossi/Stoner/Pedrosa (which are all on Bridgestones now) like we had at Laguna Seca

I'm still pulling for Stoner and Ducati, but Rossi is impossible not to like

He beats Rossi in the corners, he beats him on the brakes. 

Looks like i missed those races...
